Replacing St Paul

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

On a momentous week, Jimbo is joined by Karen Carney, Rory Smith and Adrian Clarke after the passing of Diego Maradona.

The football world mourns the loss of a player who inspired more devotion than any other in the game’s history. We discuss Maradona’s legacy. And we hear about Adrian’s encounter with Diego in his pyjamas.

The Premier League weekend is headlined by Chelsea v Spurs – Lampard v Mourinho. A top of the table clash which could be a coin toss?

Elsewhere has Pep lost his spark at Man City? Is the man who invented 4-2-3-1 giving him the help he needs?

There’s Champions League reaction after another bad week for Antonio Conte and Inter. Plus which seat is the best on the bus? And who should have been nominated for coach of the year?
